Vittles & Vine — Restaurant in Town of Genesee

Meh. I have been wanting to try Vittles & Vine and went on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30 with my mom when she came to visit. There was no one else in the restaurant but the hostess tried to cram us into a small 2 seater table. We asked if we could have a larger table since we were literally the only people in the restaurant. Her reply was, "We don't really do that." You don't really do what, seat patrons comfortably when there is a whole restaurant of empty tables? At that point we should have just left. Instead we crammed ourselves into the small table and ordered our meal. The food came quickly which was good because they didn't seem to have the heat on. It was a cold day outside and not much better in the restaurant. We ate our meals in our jackets because it was too cold without them. The best part of the meal was when the waitress made the comment, "I don't know if there is going to be enough room on the table for the food." Really??? Well geez wouldn't have been an issue if we could of had a larger table. We both ordered tacos and were not impressed. There are half a dozen Mexican restaurants in the surrounding area that have way better tacos. I had high hopes for this place because I am within walking distance from my home but I don't see myself coming back. They have over priced mediocre food at best and an unhelpful staff. There are better restaurants in the area willing to take my money in a more comfortable...

Overall, it was ok. Food was the better part, I'd rate that 4 stars. It didn't help that it was very very cold inside.... our 4-some's toes were all freezing and I wore my jacket all evening. In their defense it was 0 degrees outside..... but would've been nice to be at least slightly comfortable. I saw other guests wrapped in blankets. We asked to sit in a different empty room that was much warmer, but despite it being empty, they said it was unavailable. That didn't make much sense to me..... it was COLD. But we laughed it off as best we could and tried to enjoy ourselves. Our server was very kind and friendly, but didn't know very much, seemed pretty inexperienced. They were out of many items on the menu.... the owner (or boss) explained supply-chain issues. I get it. Although seemed a bit strange for our server to tell one of our party to go look in the fridge to see what beers they have available (because many were missing from the menu).... isn't that the server's job? We stayed until 10 and it was obvious they wanted us out of there, turning off the lights beforehand. I believe in supporting small local business, so maybe we'll try again for a better experience in the summer. It will be warmer and maybe they won't close...

I walked in to check on reserving the place for a private party and was met with a staff that seems like they we're not pleased that I stopped there,even though they were open. When I said I called and did not get an answer multiple times, the lady then proceeded to dial the phone handed to me and explained that when the phone rings it's just going to have to wait cuz she has customers even though this place has been dead everytime I have gone past and that has been 50 times plus. I was highly disappointed and would not ever try stopping there again. I never see more than a couple of cars there. I'm not sure how this place stays in business. For how they treated me, they lost out on a very big party order and a decent review. If I could give them less than 1 * I would for how I was treated I am usually a very high rating person, but this one really deserved one star. I will say that I have heard from a couple of people who have stopped in there that their food was good. The people who gave me the idea to stop there also said that they have never seen more than a couple of people in...
